Weekend Update- *ETA
I love this house. Isn't that purdy? I love a big porch with steps leading up to it. I cannot afford right now, though. There are two three houses that we are going to look at today. They are on the same street.
I rode down there Friday and really liked the area a lot. It's a newer location, newer subdivisions, schools, shopping, etc... The house we saw on Wednesday or Thursday was a bust. It needed lots of work, it was older than what we are looking for, it was dirty and didn't give us a good feeling. I saw two more on Friday without Luke. One was okay but this location (today) is better.
I made breakfast this morning for us. Luke got grits and eggs and I tried sweet potato pancakes. Poor Luke! I accidentally put too much salt in his grits. Ooops. The pancakes were fabulous, though. I ate them with a little spray butter and walnuts. Delicious. I am a big fan of sweet potatoes.
Yesterday, I drove around with Lindsey and looked at houses. Luke was cutting the grass. He would've killed me. He NEVER lets me drive, which is fine with me, but I also wasn't sure where I was going. We were just kinda driiiiiiving. You know how that is, right? It was fun. Except, what is with the tiny little bikes in the middle of the roads of subdivisions? I don't live in a subdivision right now and I have not lived in one since I was about 8 or 9 so, that is all foreign.
I slept last night from about 7:30 until 11 and then 11:55/12:15 to 7:30 this morning. I was so tired. I don't know what is going on with me. I was just exhausted and couldn't read any more. I woke up at 11 and ate some cereal. Luke went to sleep and I went with him. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to fall asleep but I did. I needed it because I slept poorly all last week.
Did ya'll see that Jeff Lewis is coming back for a reunion? I know that it's sick to love him like I do, but I cannot help it. I just love him. Why can't he be on every week of the year? I'd settle for a regular season! 22-23 shows would be nice. I'm sure they could come up with the material. He is hilarious. And I am not interested in the rich punks with flat ironed hair they are replacing my Jeffy with. No thanks, Bravo!
**ETA- The second house that we went to was so fabulous! We loved it.

"It's A Great Day Here At Jeff Lewis' Office"
If you missed book club discussion yesterday and want to talk, there are still people talking! Thanks so much for those of you who participated yesterday. We need to choose a new book. Suggestions? L and I are going to look at a house today and we are very excited. We love what we know about this house so far. We love the outside, the location, the surroundings, the pictures we've seen (few), the square footage, the price is right... I pray that I love it when I walk in it. I want it to feel like home. A place that we could make our home. This is not the only house out there, of course, but it's soooooo good. There are only a few things that I don't like, so far. I'm so sad that Jeff Lewis is gone. So sad. He is so great and I'd love to go live in Malibu with him and the pets. Well, not the cats. He really makes me laugh a lot. I love him and Jenni fighting like marrieds, playing quarters, riding the baby trike... How FANTASTIC was it when Jeff was asking Ryan if he could stay with him and Dale for a few weeks? With Zoila and the animals? OMG, I was dying. I'd already seen a longer version at Bravotv.com. He is too much. I heart him. My cousin is having very important eye surgery today. Please say a little prayer for her. I appreciate that. Labels: Diary Book Club, family, house buying, Jeff Lewis
Hope You Watched...
Scattered, random thoughts (as I'm watching) on Flipping Out:-Jeff is mean to poor Frank. -Overuse of the word 'like' by Erin and Jeff right off the bat. -I like little Erin.-I LOVE how Chris K thinks that riding a bus is demeaning but picking up dog poo and turning bottled water around in the fridge and taking lunch orders and all the other crazy tasks he does for Jeff are not. His job is demeaning. -Jenni amazes me with her facial expressions or lack thereof. Jeff does the same thing. -I love Ryan. He is so cute. LOVE his hair and clothes. I want him to be my friend. I like when he fights with Jeff. I like when we see them fight, we see Jeff's POV and then Ryan's. Funny-Jeff & Jenni in the car= my favorite! ("a sugary soda, I think that sounds good.")-I FREAKING love that Jenni won't tell him where she lives. I love it. (..."she won't give me any personal information, thinking I'm somehow gonna track her down. Which I would. My first inclination is that maybe she's gonna break up with me but also she could be, ummm, establishing some sort of boundaries.")-I could never see Jeff and Ryan together! -GOD, Jeff! He's being mean to someone who is helping them with the open house. -I love the house on Valley Oak. I love the bathroom and the floors and the windows. -Awwww, Jenni, I like your hair curly SO MUCH BETTER!! -Erin's message and Jeff's response is priceless. -Oh, the crazy cat food conversation! -Who would be crazy enough to give Jeff Louis a key to their apartment? He's throwing things away and straightening her stuff! -Oh yay! An Exorcism. Ryan's face... this woman is gonna cough up a lung! Gross. She sounds like a 2 pack-a-day smoker.-Aaaaand it's Courtney with a hat. Why does she want to look like that? -Love the kitchen hood that Ryan was showing her in the picture... all that wood, gorgeous-Oh, good gracious, Chris asked for time off. *GASP* -I want to go to Steven-Thomas. I saw a dream bed. - Jeff: "Zoila, what do you like about Chris?" Zoila: rolls eyes and shrugsI cannot wait for next week. Drama! Labels: funny, Jeff Lewis, love, TV
